Add a friend

On HistoryDex, friendship goes both ways: you send a request, your friend accepts it. Everything happens in the Friends tab.

Before you start: save your account

Friends are tied to your account. If you play as a guest, the Friends tab offers Save my account: just an email address and a code. Your collection is kept.

Find your friend code

Open the Friends tab: your member card (HistoryDex · Member card) shows your 8-character code, formatted like 7F3A·K92Q, and its QR code. The code never uses O or I, so they can't be mixed up with 0 and 1.

Share your card

  1. Friends tab › Add a friend.
  2. Tap Share my card: you share the image of your member card, with your code and your QR code.
  3. Face to face, your friend can also scan your QR code with their phone's camera: HistoryDex opens straight on your profile.

Add a friend with their code

  1. Friends tab › Add a friend.
  2. Type their code in A friend's code (8 characters, no O or I; lowercase and spaces are fine), then tap Search.
  3. On the Player found screen, tap Send a request. Your friend will need to accept it.

Add a player from the leaderboard

In the Leaderboard, tap a player to open their profile, then + Add as friend.

Accept a request

Pending requests appear at the top of the Friends tab, under Requests received, and a badge shows on the tab. Tap Accept or Decline — declining notifies no one. If notifications are on, you're also told when you receive a request and when yours is accepted.

Remove or block a player

Tap a friend in the Friends tab to open their profile, then Remove from friends or Block. A blocked player is removed from your friends and can no longer send you requests; they aren't notified. To undo it, open the Blocked section and tap Unblock.

Change your code

On the Add a friend page, Change my code gives you a new code. The old code and the old QR stop working; your current friends stay your friends.

What your friends see

Only what is already public on the leaderboard: your name, avatar, displayed title, Marble and Fine Gold cards, podiums and the month you joined. Never your collection card by card, never your games.

A problem with a player?

Block them from their profile, and report an inappropriate name from the leaderboard (Report a name). For anything else, write to us through the site's form or at historydexapp@outlook.fr. See also our Terms of Use.
